We have people sleeping in cars—and we spend billions. California has people sleeping on the streets—and we spend more billions. Los Angeles and San Fran streets are filled with human feces, we spent yet more money. A “shadow” from a proposed 62 unit apartment building in San Fran, and it can’t be built. Now we have the homeless in California living on boats. Maybe Newson, Breed and Garcetti could open up their government homes to the homeless?

California
is the country’s wealthiest and most highly taxed state, but its politicians
have utterly failed to tackle the state’s most basic problem:
homelessness. Estimates place California’s homeless population at close to
130,000. To grasp the magnitude of that figure, imagine the entire
population of New Haven, Connecticut or Charleston, South Carolina living on
the streets.

Much has been written about the
problems of feces on San Francisco’s streets and needles on the streets in
downtown Los Angeles. But the problem has
expanded far beyond those cities. It has now reached virtually all parts
of the state, including, according to reports, the state’s water.

In Sausalito just north of San
Francisco, neighbors are sparring with local politicians over a homeless
population floating off its shores in makeshift boats! While residents complain
about resulting crime and poor sanitation, local politicians, already grappling
with homeless issues, plan to start a pilot program subsidizing marina space
for the boats.

In my community of Pacific Palisades
(a neighborhood within Los Angeles), the homeless have been living in
tents on beaches and in public parks. A plan to create a park out of a
vacant plot of land was scuttled out of concern that it would quickly turn into
a homeless encampment. Residents have created a task force on homelessness to
combat the problem.

At the nearby iconic Santa Monica
pier and its surrounding high-end restaurants and shops, tourists literally
step over homeless people and are often accosted by them as they walk by. Go
south to neighboring Venice and the problem is worse. The homeless are found on
beaches, sidewalks, alleys, and vacant lots. A friend attempting to sell his
home there had to take it off the market because a homeless encampment popped
up on an empty lot across the street. He and neighbors are now, illegally,
installing planters on the lot in hopes of keeping the homeless out.

In an ironic twist, some residents
are using the state’s notoriously expansive environmental laws to fight
homeless shelters being built in their neighborhoods. Neighborhoods in Venice
and San Francisco recently raised money through GoFundMe campaigns to sue the
state, citing the California Environmental Quality Act.

In Sausalito just north of San
Francisco, neighbors are sparring with local politicians over a homeless
population floating off its shores in makeshift boats! While residents complain
about resulting crime and poor sanitation, local politicians, already grappling
with homeless issues, plan to start a pilot program subsidizing marina space
for the boats.

The act requires builders to first
evaluate all environmental impacts of the project before building, including
whether it could diminish business in the area, leading to urban blight.
Residents are concerned the shelters will become a draw for additional homeless
encampments, leading to increased crime, drug abuse, and disease. This, in
turn, will cause an exodus of local businesses and residents.

Fighting against residents’
concerns, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has proposed scaling back environmental
protections for the development of homeless shelters, while leaving them in
place for all other business and residential development.

State politicians should better
align themselves with their voters when it comes to solving the problem. Los
Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has spent the last two years “exploring” a run for
president in 2020. Facing the magnitude of his city’s problem with
homelessness, he was forced to conclude that such a run was not in the cards.

Most assume Newsom is already
“exploring” a run for president in 2024. Considering he is
facing the same problem on a statewide level, Newsom should consider Garcetti’s
fate a cautionary tale.

Florida Governor told the Feds do not send illegal aliens into my State, and they are not being sent to Tampa. The Governor of Texas said, we do not want illegal aliens in his State. So ICE is shipping, at least three times a week, a plane load of illegal aliens to the State that has a Governor that loves illegal aliens—California. Of course that means higher taxes, since the taxpayers will pay for their education, health care, housing vouchers, crimes committed.

Elections have consequences—Texas and Florida are protected by their Governor. California becomes the paymaster financing thousands of illegal aliens coming into our State every month.

“Three flights a week will arrive in the San Diego area from the Rio Grande Valley carrying approximately 130 people per flight, a CBP official at the San Diego office said.

“We’re in the middle of a humanitarian crisis and the numbers in Texas are staggering so the BP is helping out in those sectors to more efficiently process these folks,” said the official, who declined to be identified.

Flights operated by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) will land at San Diego International Airport and the detainees will be moved to the eight Border Patrol stations in the San Diego sector. “They will be housed properly inside,” the official said.”

Then after twenty days the people of California takje over payments for the 390 illegal aliens, just going to San Diego each week. No information yet on other places in California to be populated with illegal aliens.

Hundreds of detainees from U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facilities in Texas and elsewhere are being
flown to San Diego for processing beginning on Friday, the agency said.

Border officials said they are
developing plans to fly potentially thousands of migrant families to other
places away from the southern U.S. border with Mexico.

The agency said the number of people
apprehended at the border since Oct. 1 was nearly 520,000, the highest in a
decade. In the past week, there was an average of 4,500 arrests a day.

This is making it difficult to
process and release family units within 20 days of their arrival at a detention
center, as required by law, the CBP said in a statement.

U.S. President Donald Trump
earlier this year declared the immigration influx a
national emergency, which allowed him to circumvent Congress to redirect more
than $6 billion in funding to start building the border wall that he campaigned
on in the 2016 presidential election. His move has been challenged in courts.

Three flights a week will arrive in
the San Diego area from the Rio Grande Valley carrying approximately 130 people

Flights operated by the U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) will land at San Diego
International Airport and the detainees will be moved to the eight Border
Patrol stations in the San Diego sector. “They will be housed properly inside,”
the official said.

The program has no end date and no
unaccompanied children will be on the flight.

The CBP statement said the border
officials are also busing people to El Centrol from Yuma and to Laredo from the
Rio Grande Valley. It did not say which other cities might receive migrants.
Media reports say the agency was considering flights to Detroit, Miami and
Buffalo, New York, where the agency has facilities.

Trump last month threatened to send
migrants to so-called sanctuary cities such as New York and San Francisco,
which generally give undocumented immigrants safe harbor by refusing to use
their resources to help enforce federal immigration laws that could lead to
deportations.

In the past week, border authorities
have averaged 4,500 apprehensions a day and facilities aren’t equipped to care
for the influx of children, the CBP statement said. Since Dec. 21, ICE has
released approximately 180,000 family members into places in the United States.

“Whenever possible, the releases
have been coordinated with local non-governmental organizations (NGOs). As NGOs
have reached their capacities, CBP has released family units at transportation
hubs during daylight hours when the weather does not endanger those released,”
the statement said.

Trump has started the use of at the border, immediate, DNA testing, to stop human trafficking and child kidnapping. More border guards, working to put up a wall. Now he is going to the core of the issue. Obama created a policy, without approval of Congress, to allow illegal aliens to work in this country—even though the current law is clear—it is illegal and if you hire an illegal alien you can be fined, jailed, or have your business closed. Trump is ending the illegal act by Obama.

“Starting in March, the SSA began sending employer correction request notices, also known as “no-match letters,” to employers with at least one employee whose name and Social Security number combination on a filed W-2 doesn’t match SSA records. The letters instruct employers to register for the agency’s Business Services Online and correct the mismatch within 60 days.

Some 575,000 employers already have received letters.

The return of no-match letters, which haven’t been sent to employers for more than a decade, already is stirring controversy among advocacy groups and some Democratic lawmakers. The move is viewed as another Trump administration policy targeting immigrants, sparking concerns that companies could fire employees pre-emptively, fearing that they might lack work authorization.

Unlike previous Presidents, Trump is enforcing the law. How refreshing. Maybe this is why GOP Never Trumpers sound like Democrats—they do not like laws being enforced. Trump stands for the Rule of Law. Never Trumpers with their Democrats friends stand for the whim of the day and chaos.

Quietly, it seems, President Donald
Trump reversed the usurper Barack Hussein Obama Soetoro Sobarkah’s policies,
which enabled illegal aliens to work far easier in America. The return of
“no match” letters appear to be part of the administration’s Buy American, Hire
American policies.

The Social Security Administration
has revived an old practice of notifying employers of mismatches between
information on tax forms and the agency’s records.

Starting in March, the SSA began
sending employer correction request notices, also known as “no-match letters,”
to employers with at least one employee whose name and Social Security number
combination on a filed W-2 doesn’t match SSA records. The letters instruct
employers to register for the agency’s Business Services Online and correct the
mismatch within 60 days.

Some 575,000 employers already have

The return of no-match letters,
which haven’t been sent to employers for more than a decade, already is
stirring controversy among advocacy groups and some Democratic lawmakers. The
move is viewed as another Trump administration policy targeting immigrants,
sparking concerns that companies could fire employees pre-emptively, fearing
that they might lack work authorization.

While some like Rep. Jesus “Chuy”
Garcia (D-IL) refer to this as scare tactics, one has to question what the
problem actually is? If Social Security numbers don’t match names,
shouldn’t that be a red flag that not only do you have an illegal alien using
it, but that a true American’s identity might have been stolen? Of
course!

The no-match letters, Democrats
argue, are being instituted as part of the Trump administration’s crackdown on
immigration as a measure of outing to employers undocumented immigrants working
with false or stolen SSNs.

The agency has defended the practice
of using the letters in the past, telling NPR in late March that it was focused
on improving the accuracy of its record.

“If we cannot match the name and SSN
reported on a W-2 to our records, we cannot credit earnings to a worker’s
record,” spokesman Mark Hinkle said in a statement at the time. “When earnings
are missing, the worker may not qualify for Social Security benefits he or she
is due or the benefit amount may be incorrect.”

At least 46 Democrats signed a
letter that was sent to acting Social Security Administration Commissioner
Nancy Berryhill earlier this month urging her to retract that orders she was
given.

“This
action will cause numerous problems by diverting resources away from frontline
workers whose primary mission is administering benefits,” the Democrats wrote
of the Employer Correction Request Notices. “Additionally, this rule can result
in increased discrimination and abuses against U.S. workers, particularly
women.”

Berry was also sent another letter
signed by 146 labor and immigration organizations that claims that such letters
are ineffective, endanger citizens and labor rights and could overwhelm the
SSA’s resources.

“Other than to instill fear and to
add to the series of attacks that have come down against the immigrant
community — whether it’s the Census question, whether it’s the public charge
initiative against lawful permanent residents — this is one more tool in
their arsenal, I think, to drive the community into the shadows of society, to
create more anti-immigrant sentiment in the country and just to create fear and
instability in communities with large immigrant populations,” said Rep. Jesús
García (D-Ill.), the lead signatory of the Democratic letter.

OK, look, I don’t care for the
Social Security Administration anymore than I do the IRS, and I don’t doubt
there will be some hangups concerning errant letters, but are these people
seriously arguing against these measures when, again, not only could we be
talking about illegal aliens but identity theft of Americans?

“You should not use this letter to
take any adverse action against an employee, such as laying off, suspending,
firing or discriminating against that individual, just because his or her SSN
or name does not match our records,” according to a sample “no-match” letter.

No surprise in this article by Arthur Schaper. For years the California Political News and Views has written that the real purpose of marijuana legalization was to promote the product, not the revenues. Seriously can the cops tell the difference between “legal” and “illegal marijuana”? At the same time law enforcement is not arresting folks unless they have massive amounts of drugs or pot. They are not busting the street dealers—small fry, that get no jail time and maybe a minor fine—so why waste the time on paperwork for the arrest. Prop. 64 has made California an open market for drugs.

“But the biggest problem was that stiff added sales tax of 15%. Lo and behold, because the costs of legal marijuana are so high, much higher than the drugs pushed on the street, the black market survives and even thrives in the state of California. Why bother buying legal pot, which is excessively expensive, when you can buy it cheaper from the seedy drug dealer?

I favor decriminalization for possession and use of marijuana, since locking people up does not get them sober nor does it set them free from the addition. One reason why? It’s even easier to get drugs in prison than on the street? However, Prop 64 was the wrong approach for many reasons to phase out onerous legal consequences for drug use or possession. The proof is the fact that the black market has not be closed down or forced out of business by the legal compete.”

Potheads are conservatives when it comes to the purchase of the product. Why pay DOUBLE at a store when you can get it 24/7 on the street. The street price does not include taxes, the cost of a brick and mortar building, security or the cost of permits sold by the State and community?

The Modesto Bee has reported that
Stanislaus County sheriff’s deputies are cracking down on illegal pot shops,
which are eating away at the legal marijuana businesses, all recently
established following the passage of Proposition 64.

Wait a second!

I thought that legalizing
recreational marijuana would do away with the black market? Certainly
that’s what the proponents of Prop 64 believed, and one of the reasons why the
initiative passed by a significant margin in 2016.

What went wrong? What was in the
iniative, and thus the reasons why I opposed the initiative, even though I
believe that people should not be locked up, placed in jail for using a drug
that simply makes you … stupid.

I voted NO on Prop 64 precisely
because there were so many poison-pill provisions in the legislation, including
language which would undercut one of the goals of the bill–shut down the black
market and bringing marijuana sales into the open. The initiative imposed a
massive sales tax on recreational marijuana products. The initiative also
included stiff penalties for marijuana related crimes, including the loss of
one’s Second Amendment Rights for a non-violent misdemeanor. These two problems, along with a host of other issues (the fact
that marijuana use, sale, and distribution remains illegal at the federal
level; the impossibility of banking because marijuana sales violate federal
law, etc.) made Prop 64 a bad proposition.

But the biggest problem was
that stiff added sales tax of 15%. Lo and behold, because the costs of legal
marijuana are so high, much higher than the drugs pushed on the street, the
black market survives and even thrives in the state of California. Why bother
buying legal pot, which is excessively expensive, when you can buy it cheaper
from the seedy drug dealer?

I favor decriminalization for
possession and use of marijuana, since locking people up does not get them
sober nor does it set them free from the addition. One reason why? It’s even
easier to get drugs in prison than on the street? However, Prop 64 was the
wrong approach for many reasons to phase out onerous legal consequences for
drug use or possession. The proof is the fact that the black market has not be
closed down or forced out of business by the legal compete

Proponents expected a collect
greater tax revenue with the passage of Prop 64. What happened instead is that
the black market has only gotten bigger, while the marijuana revenue failed to
meet projections. No end to the black market, lower-than-expected tax revenue,
and now police officers throughout the state of California must divert their
already strained resources to crack down on these illegal pot shops.

It’s time to have a thoughtful
discussion about decriminalization of controlled substances, one that
recognizes the potential unintended consequences of marijuana use, one which
allows law enforcement to stop down serious crimes and track down those
criminals, but most importantly one which understands how markets work, how
free enterprise works, and which recognizes the power of competition as well as
government control.

Great news—the human traffickers, the kidnappers and liars coming to our borders with children, not their own, is about to end. An instant DNA test is showing if the kidnapper/trafficker is the criminal. Why have Democrats protected and promoted child stealing and the abuse of children from other nations?

“On May 7, Border Patrol agents based in Hidalgo, Texas, watched 51-year-old Amilcar Guiza-Reyes wade through the Rio Grande with an infant. After the pair arrived on U.S. soil, they were taken into custody and brought back to U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Central Processing Center in McAllen, Texas.

Agents learned Guiza-Reyes had been deported in 2013. He was turned over to ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations agents, who believed he may not have been the father of the child.

ICE ordered a DNA test of the pair and the man consented to a cheek swab for the two. The swab was run through a machine, which concluded the two were not related.

The Honduran man admitted the baby’s birth certificate was illegitimate. He was charged in federal court in the Southern District of Texas on May 10 with alien smuggling. “

Democrats have no trouble killing babies. Now they have no problem with kidnapping and human trafficking of children from other nations. That is the definition of moral corruption.

A 90-minute rapid DNA test is
responsible for determining a male migrant and baby who arrived together at the
Texas border as a family unit earlier this month were not related, according to
an official with first-hand knowledge of events surrounding the incident.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched a pilot program
with the system for a handful of days at two locations on the U.S.-Mexico
border earlier this month to see if the technology could help agents
conclusively confirm or deny whether migrants who claim to be related are in
fact family.

On May 7, Border Patrol agents based
in Hidalgo, Texas, watched 51-year-old Amilcar Guiza-Reyes wade through the Rio
Grande with an infant. After the pair arrived on U.S. soil, they were taken
into custody and brought back to U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Central
Processing Center in McAllen, Texas.

Agents learned Guiza-Reyes had been
deported in 2013. He was turned over to ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations
agents, who believed he may not have been the father of the child.

machine, which concluded the two were not related.

The Honduran man admitted the baby’s
birth certificate was illegitimate. He was charged in federal court
in the Southern District of Texas on May 10 with alien smuggling.

The infant was turned over to the
Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement because
the baby is technically an unaccompanied minor.

The DNA tests were conducted for
less than one week on suspicious migrant families taken into custody near
McAllen and El Paso, Texas.

The Washington Examiner
reported in March the Department of Homeland Security and ICE were looking at adopting the rapid testing
system. On May 1, Homeland Security announced it would
launch a pilot of the program in instances where agents could not verify a
family unit’s relationships.

The debut marked the first time DNA
testing of any sort has been used at the border. Currently, authorities must
use verbal statements and written documents to verify family connections.

We have been told that in many areas of California one reason we do not build more homes is lack of construction workers. We also know, we are told, there is a shortage of workers in the former Golden State, which is why we need illegal aliens. So, Progressives are willing to spend tens of billions of dollars on a scam, a payoff to unions, special interests and crony capitalists. Waste money as long as “jobs” are attached. I am sure the attorneys, book keepers, PR people can all find better jobs.

“But Jeff Michael, director of the Center for Business and Policy Research at the University of Pacific in Stockton, said it’s too early to claim jobs will be lost.

“A lot is unknown. It depends on how the state reacts to the loss of money. In general, a billion dollars in construction spending could create about ten thousand job years, or years of employment in the economy,” Michael said.

“What we don’t know is whether losing this funding will actually be a setback for the project. Will California back-fill that funding from another source so that the project continues? Or is that loss of funding enough to derail the whole financial plan?” he added.

The kicker is, of course, THERE IS NO FINANCIAL PLAN. They have no way to pay for this scandal in the making. Our gas tax will go up by up to 72 cents a gallon on 1/1/20—seriously, with a good portion of that money going to the train to nowhere. How many productive people will be forced to leave California due to that tax? End the scam, save the workers paychecks. All the workers. Use these workers and the money to fix our roads and freeways/plenty of jobs needed for that!

California labor unions say
thousands of Central Valley jobs may never be created after the latest setback
for the state’s high-speed rail project.

The Trump administration announced on Thursday it would take
back $929 million in federal money, arguing the bullet train project has
substantially changed since it granted its funds, and that California has
failed to make enough progress.

“The Trump Administration is
attempting to kill thousands of good, family-supporting jobs our state
desperately needs,” Art Pulaski, executive secretary-treasurer of the
California Labor Federation, wrote in a statement.

But Jeff Michael, director of the
Center for Business and Policy Research at the University of Pacific in
Stockton, said it’s too early to claim jobs will be lost.

“A lot is unknown. It depends on how
the state reacts to the loss of money. In general, a billion dollars in
construction spending could create about ten thousand job years, or years of
employment in the economy,” Michael said.

“What we don’t know is whether
losing this funding will actually be a setback for the project. Will California
back-fill that funding from another source so that the project continues? Or is
that loss of funding enough to derail the whole financial plan?” he added.

State high-speed rail officials said
they’ll move forward with the network’s Central Valley portion even without the
federal money. They said they’ll rely on state revenue, including that from
California’s cap-and-trade auction to offset greenhouse-gas emissions.

The loss of federal money, and the
fact that the Trump administration recently cut off cooperation on the
project’s environmental reviews, could delay Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s
newly proposed, 50 mile extension of the Central Valley track. It would run
from Madera to Merced in the north, and from the outskirts of Bakersfield into
the city’s downtown in the south.

Should the project stall, future
engineering and manufacturing jobs could be in jeopardy in the Fresno area,
according to Ram Nunna, dean of Lyles College of Engineering at Fresno State
University. He said his college has established a transportation institute to
train future railway engineers.

“The cancellation of the project,”
Nunna said, would mean “that the the Central Valley will continue to be
economically isolated. … It would change the minds of companies who were
planning on starting new ventures in the greater Fresno area, especially
to support a future [high-speed rail] maintenance facility.”

In a statement last week, Newsom
called the termination of funds “political retribution,” illegal, and “a direct
assault on California.”

Several Central Valley political
leaders, including Republican state Assemblyman Jim Patterson of Fresno, said
it’s time for California to end the project altogether.

“They have torn up Central CA,
destroyed thousands of acres of prime Ag land, taken homes and businesses,”
Patterson wrote on Twitter.
“The question now is, will they put it all back together before they run out of
money & leave town? This is the beginning of the end of @CaHSR [the state’s
high speed rail authority].”

There is a famous story about a dinner held in the White House by President John Kennedy. The dinner guests included Nobel Prize winning scientists, great philosophers and the best minds of the time. A reporter asked Kennedy if this was the greatest collection of minds at a dinner set by a President. Kennedy, without skipping a beat answered, “No, that honor goes to Thomas Jefferson, when he ate alone.” Sadly the Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, a town of 107,000 hates Thomas Jefferson, history, the presidency and lacks the intellectual capacity to think about the value of a man like Jefferson.

“Buttigieg said, “We are all morally conflicted human beings.” While he said Democrats aren’t deleting him from the history books or saying he’s not a founding father, Buttigieg said naming events after him is a different story.

“The real reason I think there is a lot of pressure on this is the relationship between the past and present that we’re finding in a million different ways that racism isn’t some curiosity out of the past that we’re embarrassed about but moved on from,” Buttigieg said. “It’s alive. It’s well. It’s hurting people and it’s one of the main reasons to be in politics today is to try to change or reverse the harms that went along with that.”

If he really believes that, why isn’t he calling the man running for President who voted in the U.S. Senate against desegregation a racist that should not be allowed in the Democrat Party. If he did, he would be calling out Joe Biden, who had LOTS of negative comments on race relations and blacks. He one famously, or infamously, called Barack Obama a “clean black. Sick The South Bend Mayor accepts Biden but hates Jefferson—sad.

Pete Buttigieg, who is running in a crowded Democratic field for president, said on Friday he believes renaming events and things named after President Thomas Jefferson is the “right thing to do.”

The South Bend mayor appeared
on The Hugh Hewitt Show, where he was asked to weigh in on the name
of the annual Indiana Democratic dinner, which was formerly named
after party founders and former presidents Thomas Jefferson and Andrew
Jackson. Indiana Democrats changed the name
of the annual dinner in 2016.

“Well, let’s go to policy now—a
very blunt question because you talk about going to every Jefferson-Jackson
Dinner in Indiana when you were running statewide. Should Jefferson-Jackson
dinners be renamed everywhere because both were holders of slaves?” Hewitt
asked.

“Yeah, we’re doing that in
Indiana. I think it’s the right thing to do,” Buttigieg said. “Over
time, you develop and evolve on the things you choose to honor … Jefferson is
more problematic. There’s a lot of course to admire in his thinking and his
philosophy, but then again if you plunge into his writings, especially the
notes on the state of Virginia, you know that he knew slavery was wrong.”

Buttigieg said, “We are all
morally conflicted human beings.” While he said Democrats aren’t deleting
him from the history books or saying he’s not a founding father, Buttigieg said
naming events after him is a different story.

“The real reason I think there
is a lot of pressure on this is the relationship between the past and present
that we’re finding in a million different ways that racism isn’t some curiosity
out of the past that we’re embarrassed about but moved on from,” Buttigieg
said. “It’s alive. It’s well. It’s hurting people and it’s one of the main
reasons to be in politics today is to try to change or reverse the harms
that went along with that.”

It does not take an academic to know corruption when they see it. In fact, in California corruption is approved by academics, by using junk science in explaining the lies of their environmental studies, the cause of failed government education and to assure dangerous people get elected to office, defending corruption in the election process to make sure Democrats win.

“To illustrate their point, using the Feb. 7, 2018, VoteCal data for Los Angeles County, data researchers from the Election Integrity Project California noted 3,607 voters registered in both Los Angeles County and neighboring counties; 6,207 sets of voters likely registered more than once at the same address (includes 158 registered three times and 15 registered four to five times at the same address). The VoteCal database is also missing important information needed to determine voter eligibility and distinguish one applicant from another. Using the same VoteCal list, they found 69,180 Los Angeles County registrants with no accurate date of birth; 9,332 Los Angeles County registrants with missing first names; and 615 with missing last names.

The VoteCal database was clearly implemented precipitously, and has never been certified by a third party outside of the Secretary of State’s office.”

This is a great article by a citizen-activist—Colleen Britton. This is what we can do—even if the GOP refuses to fight against the corruption—acceptance of the illegal voting rolls, accepting of ballot harvesting. Words mean nothing—action is what we need, sadly all we hear are words from those who have the responsibility to protect us. So, we will do the job without them and over their objections.

It is no easy task to stay informed
about pending legislation in California.

During a single legislative session
anywhere from 700 to 1,000-plus new bills may be passed and signed into law. Thus
far in the 2019-20 session Election Integrity Project California’s Legislative
Oversight Team has identified 58 bills and at least two proposed constitutional
amendments dealing with elections alone. Unfortunately, the majority of these
bills do little to protect the integrity of our elections, but instead strive
to “enhance the voting experience” to make it more pleasurable.

One of the most egregious bills by
Assemblyman Marc Berman, D-Los Altos, Assembly Bill 693, would allow same-day
voter registrants to cast a non-provisional ballot (a regular poll ballot) on
Election Day if their names are found on the statewide VoteCal database, and
they are found to be eligible to vote, have not previously voted in that
election and are not currently registered in another county. The Election
Integrity Project California opposes this bill because the VoteCal database
remains flawed.

The Election Integrity Project
California contends that VoteCal is still “riddled with imperfections and
inconsistencies and is not a reliable reference to determine an
applicant’s eligibility to vote without further investigation.”

To illustrate their point, using the
Feb. 7, 2018, VoteCal data for Los Angeles County, data researchers from the
Election Integrity Project California noted 3,607 voters registered in both Los
Angeles County and neighboring counties; 6,207 sets of voters likely registered
more than once at the same address (includes 158 registered three times and 15
registered four to five times at the same address). The VoteCal database is
also missing important information needed to determine voter eligibility and
distinguish one applicant from another. Using the same VoteCal list, they found
69,180 Los Angeles County registrants with no accurate date of birth; 9,332 Los
Angeles County registrants with missing first names; and 615 with missing last
names.

The VoteCal database was clearly
implemented precipitously, and has never been certified by a
third party outside of the Secretary of State’s office.

Under current state law, within 14
days of an election, citizens may complete a conditional voter registration and
cast a provisional ballot at any county’s Registrar’s Office, or in counties
that have implemented the Voter’s Choice Act, at any vote center in their
county. Their ballots will be processed once the elections office has completed
the voter registration verification process. This assures that no legitimate
voter is disenfranchised, while protecting registration integrity.

In the 2018 midterm election,
390,000 provisional ballots were cast in Los Angeles County alone, a 222
percent increase over the number in the 2014 midterm. Berman asserts that his
bill would “enhance the voting experience” since many voters are unhappy with
the use of provisional ballots. Could it be that the voters unhappy with
provisional ballots are the thousands who, in the 2018 midterm election, were
forced to vote provisionally because they did not receive their ballot in the
mail, and thousands more whose status had been changed to vote-by-mail without
their knowledge or permission? If so, Berman’s bill seeks to solve the wrong
problem.

Until we can be sure of the accuracy
of the VoteCal database, clean up our state’s voter rolls and have oversight
and transparency in the Department of Motor Vehicles’ voter registration
operation, the integrity of our elections is at risk.

The top priority in our elections must
be much more than simply enjoying an “enhanced experience.”

Our elections represent citizens’
voices, the cornerstone of a constitutional republic and those voices must be
heard accurately, lawfully, honestly and fairly. Participating in an election
must be an act in which we can have unfailing faith; that is the most enhanced
experience of all. Citizens need to communicate the proper priorities to the
Legislature and demand that their voices be heard.

Great news for our future. Alyssa Milano is NOT going to have sex, so she will not be re-producing. No worries about her adopting a baby, she is too self centered and could not pass a mental test. She is actually one of the saner folks in Hollywood. Looks like the drugs, the alcohol and the hedonism has killed their common sense and sense of morality. They prefer dead black babies to live ones—then support fascist organizations like Antifa and Black Lives Matter. These people are UPSET that President Trump has create through his economic policies the historically lowest unemployment for blacks, Hispanics, women Asians and the disabled. Hollywood prefers the Obama version of unemployed and on the government dole.

“But in the meantime, the Hollywood left is furious. Barbra Streisand lamented: “The retrograde Alabama criminalizes abortion even in the case of rape and incest. Voted for overwhelmingly by GOP men. Handmaid’s Tale from the GOP.”

Lady Gaga called it an “outrage” and “all the more heinous” that it doesn’t allow exceptions for those who are raped “or are experiencing incest non-consensual or not.” Gaga is inclusive enough to show compassion toward those practicing consensual incest.

The Hollywood Left is so protective of women that they want female babies killed. Hypocrites—get off the drugs.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed a bill
on May 14 protecting unborn babies from the slaughter of abortion. The vote
wasn’t close in the state legislature: 74-3 in the House, 25-6 in the Senate.

One more state has come to its
senses.

There’s a wave of pro-life bills
being passed in the Southern states. First came the “heartbeat” bills
stopping abortions after a baby’s heartbeat can be detected (around six weeks).
Then came Alabama. Its bill stops all abortions except for cases where the life
of the mother is in danger or the unborn baby has a “lethal anomaly,”
and threatens abortion doctors with up to 99 years in jail.

The left will naturally try to get Democrat-appointed federal judges to repeal
it.

But in the meantime, the Hollywood
left is furious. Barbra Streisand lamented: “The retrograde Alabama
criminalizes abortion even in the case of rape and incest. Voted for overwhelmingly
by GOP men. Handmaid’s Tale from the GOP.”

Lady Gaga called it an
“outrage” and “all the more heinous” that it doesn’t allow
exceptions for those who are raped “or are experiencing incest
non-consensual or not.” Gaga is inclusive enough to show compassion toward
those practicing consensual incest.

Alyssa Milano was also livid at the
22 men who voted against the rape and incest exception. “NOT ONE
UTERUS,” she tweeted. That the governor who signed the bill and the female
state representative who sponsored the bill are women is irrelevant.

There was also “not one
uterus” among the seven men who legalized nationwide abortion in Roe v.
Wade in 1973.

Sarah Silverman was counting
differently, tweeting, “27 white males just decided what Alabama women can
and can’t do with their own bodies and lives. (Males cause 100% of unwanted
pregnancies).”

The “comedians” thought
their rage would be funny. They were wrong. On TBS, Samantha Bee announced the
regulators of abortion “wouldn’t recognize a vulva if it bit them in the
face.” Former “Daily Show” co-creator Lizz Winstead claimed,
“I love the people of Alabama and want to punch their politicians in the
c—k.”

Comedian and former “Daily
Show” producer Jena Friedman snapped on Twitter that “in Alabama,
life begins at rape.” Friedman also tweeted, “The best way to stop
abortion is to just kill women before they get pregnant! — Alabama legislature
2020.” This is the same woman who warned women during Stephen Colbert’s
election-night freak-out in 2016, “Get your abortions now!”

Jameela Jamil of the NBC afterlife
sitcom “The Good Place” called the new Georgia law “blatantly
demonstrative of a hatred of women” and then added, “I had an
abortion when I was young, and it was the best decision I have ever made. Both
for me, and for the baby I didn’t want.”

It’s amazing that women who abort
babies can always rationalize that they are such immensely horrible people that
the babies would be better off dead. Jamil implied foster care is worse than
abortion: “So many children will end up in foster homes. So many lives
ruined. So very cruel.”

It’s amazing that these
“progressives” believe their compassion is limitless, and yet they
express every Orwellian adjective known to man about violently ending a life
before it starts. Saving the babies is “restrictive,” not
“protective.” It’s “brutal,” not stopping brutality. It’s
“cruel,” and even “barbaric.” And ripping babies limb from
limb is … the antonym?

California elections are looking more like those in Russia than America. Attempts to keep people off the ballot via phony “requirements”. Three million people on the voting rolls, illegally—per a Federal court decision. Absentee ballot harvesting—from the three million and others—with no chain of custody. The DMV pushes people to register as Decline to State—folks who do not want to vote will now automatically get a ballot in the mail for the “harvesters” to collect.

“She starts with a sickening new report that California’s election was hacked through its “motor-voter’ system, the system the state has to register as many votes as possible. If a California resident applies for a drivers license in the state, he (or she) gets registered to vote whether he likes it or not. An applicant can only say ‘no’ to the registration, not ‘yes,’ the ‘yes’ is embedded into the system. It’s a set-up that relies on the “honor system” for a voter’s claims of valid citizenship to vote and there is no verification.

Naturally, such a system is vulnerable to foreign cyberattacks from abroad and one actually happened, from Croatia, and it was one they tried to cover up. Here’s what occurred, according to Crabtree’s report:

The state has had a motor-voter system up and running for years, but a new law required the Department of Motor Vehicles to electronically transmit information on drivers who are eligible to vote and who visit the Golden State’s DMV offices to the state’s voter rolls, unless they opt out.

Among the concerns surfacing now is that state officials never publicly acknowledged the hacking until California media reported on it last month. And there are lingering questions — and serious doubts — over whether the system’s numerous glitches have been fixed in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential primary and general election.

Now we find out our voting rolls are hackable—which means a hacker can change registration, delete registration OR create a phony registration of a person that does not exist. Honest elections in California? Only in the textbooks.

California’s election has unsettled
many, given the role of ballot-harvesting in supposedly flipping Reagan-country
Orange County entirely blue in the last midterm.

But the details rolling out now are
getting far more disturbing. RealClearPolitics investigative reporter
Susan Crabtree has put together a string of criminalities surrounding the way
California runs its elections which makes one wonder if California has adopted
the Venezuela Model of electoral goverance.

She starts with a sickening new
report that California’s election was hacked through its “motor-voter’
system, the system the state has to register as many votes as possible. If a
California resident applies for a drivers license in the state, he
(or she) gets registered to vote whether he likes it or not. An
applicant can only say ‘no’ to the registration, not ‘yes,’ the ‘yes’
is embedded into the system. It’s a set-up that relies on the “honor
system” for a voter’s claims of valid citizenship to vote and there is no
verification.

Naturally, such a system is
vulnerable to foreign cyberattacks from abroad and one actually happened, from
Croatia, and it was one they tried to cover up. Here’s what occurred, according
to Crabtree’s report:

The state has had a motor-voter
system up and running for years, but a new law required the Department of Motor
Vehicles to electronically transmit information on drivers who are eligible to
vote and who visit the Golden State’s DMV offices to the state’s voter rolls,
unless they opt out.

Among the concerns surfacing now is
that state officials never publicly acknowledged the hacking until California
media reported on it last month. And there are lingering questions — and
serious doubts — over whether the system’s numerous glitches have been fixed in
the lead-up to the 2020 presidential primary and general election.

California officials moved up the
state’s primary from June to March to boost its role in determining who wins
the Democratic nomination for president, making it even more critical to ensure
the integrity of voter registrations, election watchdogs argue.

Up until now, most of us in this
state have been pretty confident that our election was hack-proof because it
involves paper ballots filled in with a stylus pen on punch-card. It’s pokey,
but no one can change the ballot a voter casts. This hack is done at a
higher point upstream in the system, where voters have no control, and they
can’t even watch their vote being changed by the computer system (as the
Venezuelans could) to know there was fraud going on.

Here’s the other disturbing
implication of the hack – Crabtree notes that activists say there now are
privacy concerns. What a normal person might ask from that is whether some Big
Brother manipulating this hackable system might be knowing and recording just
how you vote. If hackers can do it, you can bet the state counting the ballots
can do it.

It’s certainly cause for concern.

Crabtree headlines her report as a
hacker issue worth watching, but her report is brimming with other kinds of
irregularities going on in the state as a result of the state’s one-party rigged
system. She writes:

The entire rollout was bogged down
with bugs and glitches responsible for upwards of 100,000 inaccurate
voter-registration records, including wrong party preferences, voters
incorrectly being designated as wanting to vote by mail, and at least 1,500
noncitizens wrongly allowed to register to vote.

Among these were 1,500 illegally
registered to vote non-citizens. Those are the ones they found. Who knows how
many this bunch of one-party riggers didn’t ‘find.’

Crabtree notes that none of these
non-citizen registrations were of illegals, but expresses skepticism at the
blithe claims. She’s right because declaring one’s immigration status
honestly is pretty much done on an unverified honor system. If there’s a
coyote you owe money to as an illegal, and he’s got connections to the
Sacramento mob for favors paid, how can we be surprised that well… what
happens, happens.

With that possibility, it doesn’t
help that the state is being pretty unforthcoming about whether any
non-citizens voted at all. The state officials running this, led by secretary
of state Alexa Padilla, would an interest in ensuring that that
information does not get out.

It gets worse.

Officials involved in this
motor-voter rollout have been fired or ousted, Crabtree writes, two big ones.
That’s signals something apparently so bad that even California’s public
employee unions, who will defend any incompetence and keep the world’s
crappiest workers on the job, could not stop. The state is getting sued by an
electoral integrity watchdog group, for its bad motor-voter rollout, which
obviously, it thinks it can win.

Here’s another problem: Not only did
a lot of people (such as me) get ballots in the mail we didn’t ask for, the
better to provide opportunities for the state’s abundant ballot harvesters,
some of whom are illegal immigrants, people who asked for ballots sent to them
by mail didn’t get them. Were those ballots in Republican areas of Orange
County. According to Crabtree’s report, it sounds like it. I know my parents didn’t
get theirs, and had to walk on canes to the polling places to cast their
ballots provisionally. Apparently this happened to a lot of people.

Worse still, there were long lines,
and even worse than that, voting booths ran out of supplies, prompting them
to tell voters ‘too bad’ and ending their right to vote after waiting in long
lines. One wonders how many Republican areas were affected by this even as
leftists went ballot-harvesting in illegal-immigrant-rich districts, often with illegals collecting the ballots.
There was no supply shortage reported on that front.

Yet despite the automation, Crabtree
notes that provisional ballot counts due to problematic registrations went down
not at all in this past election.

Democrats just got the result they
wanted.

Had enough? Several states these day
are suing to keep Republicans such as President Trump off the ballot. With
garbage like this going on, it would seem that a better lawsuit would be to
keep California’s tainted ballots from being counted. They are being tainted
across the board and apparently even beyond the U.S.

One can only hope that the slew of
lawsuits wending their way through the state’s courts can have an impact. There
are quite a few fair-minded judges in the state and one can only hope that a
case lands on one of their
